A key focus of this year’s Job Fair is encouraging job seekers to explore the full range of opportunities available across the tourism sector.

The participating companies include Antigua and Barbuda National Parks Authority, Blue Waters Resort & Spa, Carlisle Bay Resort, Curtain Bluff Antigua, Elite Island Resorts (Hammock Cove Antigua, Pineapple Beach Club, St. James’s Club & Villas and The Verandah Antigua), Hermitage Bay Antigua, Hodges Bay Resort & Spa, Jumby Bay Island, Keyonna Beach Resort, Mill Reef Club, Moon Gate Hotel & Spa, Royalton Antigua, Royalton CHIC Antigua, Sandals Grande Antigua, St. John’s Development Corporation (SJDC)/Heritage Hotel, Tamarind Hills Resort and Villas, Trade Winds Hotel and Land Sailing (TIFFINO LTD) – New Tour.
The inclusion of organisations such as the Antigua and Barbuda National Parks Authority and Land Sailing (TIFFINO LTD) – New Tour, alongside smaller properties and established resorts, highlights the diversity of employment possibilities available within the wider tourism industry.
Job seekers are encouraged to speak with as many participating employers as possible. Opportunities within smaller properties, attractions and emerging tourism businesses can provide valuable experience, career development, and pathways into different areas of the industry.
Community First Joins as Major Sponsor
